Noble Emblem

Being scolded by the great elder, the old magician who just spoke looked a little unhappy. He thought for a while and said: "We are a colorless magic tower. Since he can use space magic, he shouldn't give us any respect? How can we say that we can too?" The pinnacle of space magic! Let them send over the drawings of the large-scale teleportation array, and can we give them some space magic?"

"You have been studying magic in the magic tower for the past few decades. Have you lost your mind?" The great elder was so angry that his beard almost stood up: "If we really have the ability, we should develop the large-scale teleportation magic circle ourselves. , instead of grabbing other people’s things! Are you becoming more shameless as you get older?”

The great elder's expression showed a sarcastic smile: "Besides, do you think we can defeat it? Do you really think that the Colorless Magic Tower today is still the same organization that everyone was afraid of hundreds of years ago?"

None of the elders spoke.

They know very well that the strength of the current Colorless Magic Tower is indeed far inferior to that of hundreds of years ago.

Now there are two legends in the entire Colorless Magic Tower, and the other elders are stuck between the master and the legend, unable to make any progress.

An elder said: "Then what can we do? The large teleportation magic array is not made by us. How can we hold our heads up in front of other magic towers in the future?"

"In fact, we can absorb that person into our magic tower. This can at least avoid embarrassment."

The Great Elder said: "This is indeed a method, but according to the information we have found, the person who knows the large teleportation magic circle is the Pope of the Wealth God Religion. We do not have enough benefits to attract him."

A group of elders sighed in unison. The Colorless Magic Tower now relies on the legacy of a legendary powerhouse hundreds of years ago to leave a good reputation in the world.

Without a large amount of high-level space magic, they do not have enough combat power, nor do they have enough defensive capabilities. Their frontal combat ability is extremely poor at the same level.

If it hadn't been for the Mythra Mansion Technique brought back from the outside world two years ago, I would have gained a little confidence.

However, learning the Mansion Technique is very difficult. After two years, only the Great Elder has touched the door lock of this high-level magic.

Now that they have neither strength nor financial resources, how can they recruit the pope of a sect?

A group of people were silent for a long time, and finally the great elder said: "Let's form an alliance with them and deal with them as allies. If they are in need, we will help and try to make them owe us more favors. Maybe in this way, they Can you give us the blueprint of the large-scale teleportation magic circle?"

Another elder asked: "Is this plan feasible?"

"The hope is slim." The Great Elder said bluntly: "If it were us, would we give such important drawings to our allies?"

No one answered.

The Great Elder coughed slightly and said, "But no matter what, you all hope to learn the large teleportation array."

Speaking of space magic, the eyes of these elders lit up one by one.

They may not be very good at being sociable, but to be honest, they are all extremely obsessed with space magic. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as "technical nerds".

"So, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to fight for it." The great elder thought for a while and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the user of this large teleportation magic circle gave us the mansion technique. "Young man. So I will ask King Hollevan for help through Aslan, hoping that he can help us connect."

"It can only be the."

The meeting at the Colorless Magic Tower was uneventful, but it was normal.

If Beta had dared to take out the large teleportation magic array a few years ago, Colorless Magic Tower would have dared to snatch it away.

Not only the colorless magic tower, but also all forces dare to grab it. Anyone with a high position will understand how powerful this thing is.

But now that the God of Wealth has become a force, especially not long ago, it was trying its best to gain reputation in the entire human world, sending blueprints of magic equipment and blueprints of dragon-slaying crossbows. All the forces agreed with him.

For a sect that is 'extremely orderly and kind', ordinary forces simply don't dare to mess around, at least on the surface.

Moreover, the one currently dealing with the God of Wealth to ‘build a large-scale magic teleportation array’ is actually the Kingdom of France, which is the largest country in mankind.

Even the largest country has formalized transactions. Other countries or forces must think carefully before doing something shady.

Beta then stayed in France for nearly half a year before building large-scale teleportation magic circles in more than thirty cities.

Then France entered the era of transportation in the true sense.

After returning from France to Waking City, he also brought back nearly 60,000 gold coins.

This is more than 80% of Shasha's private treasury, and it is also the tax revenue of the French royal family for about fifteen years.

Even after paying such a large amount of money, Shasha still felt it was worth it.

First of all, teleportation requires payment. Excluding maintenance fees and teleportation material fees, the royal family can make back its money in about ten years. Moreover, the teleportation array almost connects the entire empire into one, which has great convenience, and the royal family has control over various territories. Implicit control is a long-term and cost-effective investment.

To make sure profits without losing money, the real leader should manage a force or a country from a long-term perspective.

Although Shasha is inexperienced, she is a member of the royal family after all, so she still understands this.

Beta threw the 60,000 gold coins in the magic space of the mansion into the warehouse. After counting them casually, Shirley said with a smile: "With this money, we can also build a large-scale teleportation magic circle in Hollevin."

But quite unexpectedly, Beta rejected her suggestion: "This matter should not be decided by us, but by the royal family."

Shirley thought for a moment and then understood what was going on.

The purpose of the Wealth God Cult is not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

The large teleportation magic circle, no matter from any aspect, is closely related to the politics of every country.

Moreover, the right to use the teleportation array should be in the hands of the royal family, otherwise they would be extremely uneasy about the God of Fortune who has the authority to use the teleportation magic array.

"Our divine religion cannot take all the benefits of this world. A win-win situation is the truly stable way to develop. We must make our allies feel that by cooperating with us, everyone will gain and benefit. But there must also be a The core premise is that our core technology or core measures cannot be replaced by others. "

"Whether it is digging mountains and building roads, digging canals, issuing small gold cards, or even teleporting magic circles, these win-win measures have shown our goodwill to the entire world. Our external environment is still very stable for the time being. But now, It means that our roots will be deeper and more stable. Only when our roots are stable can this big tree of our religion be able to withstand the blows of violent storms."

"After several years of training, we have a sufficient number of young pastors. Now it is time to carry out the movement of 'pastors going to the countryside'. In addition to cities, our religious beliefs must develop in poorer places. , at least one priest per town. If possible, we can even help the towns where our Wealth God priests are stationed to build a road to the big city. This cannot be completed overnight, and it may take more than ten years. Twenty years, but no matter what, we must continue to do this without interruption.”

"Finally, this move will be left to the Saintess to handle with full authority. This was Joan's wish before she was elected as the Saint, and it was also something the goddess confirmed."

At the new year-end ceremony, Beta made the above speech.

The saint stood up at the meeting and bowed deeply to Beta to express her gratitude.

After a year of training and training, Qiong now has the aura and demeanor that a saint should have.

After she knew Emma's identity, she often asked Emma for advice on government affairs and things that a saint should pay attention to.

It can be said that he is a very serious and studious person.

After the ceremony, the bishops who knew Joan congratulated her one after another.

The Pope's words at the ceremony directly told all the bishops that Saint Joan had officially taken office. From then on, she was no longer a vase, but a person with power, a real person with power.

Of course, the move of "priests going to the countryside" is not only an agreement with the saint's political advice, but also a test for her.

Done well, there will certainly be more decentralization.

If you don't do well, you will probably have to train in the Holy City for a few more years.

After thanking all the congratulatory bishops in a gentle but not arrogant manner, Joan returned to her home and closed the door.

The cold saintly mask was torn off, and she jumped onto the bed with a whoosh, rolling around holding the pillow, extremely happy.

Although Joan was very satisfied with reaching the position of a saint, she didn't mind taking it a step further and having real power.

But she never thought of asking Beta for her power.

The longer she stayed in Waking City, the clearer she became about who turned a small, unknown sect into the current state religion of Hollevin.

She also understood that Shirley and Goddess Watkin looked exactly the same.

She knew better that Goddess Watkin would talk to the Pope through Shirley from time to time.

She even knew that the bishops were secretly spreading a message that sounded quite outrageous.

Pope Beta is the Goddess’s appointed husband!

All believers will not make up gossip about their belief in gods.

So where did this news come from? There is only one possibility!

Ms. Shirley.

She understood one thing. In the Cult of Wealth, the authority of Pope Beta was unparalleled.

After grinning for a while, Qiong sat up, pretended to cough twice, and looked like a saint, then walked to the desk and opened a thick notebook.

She had already thought about this matter half a year ago, because when she was elected as the Saint, her governing philosophy was to build water conservancy and support poor towns.

The former has been realized under Beta's order, so the decision to support villages and towns will one day be implemented.

Being prepared early is not a bad thing after all.

And opportunities...are always reserved for those who are prepared.
